What’s your cat’s zodiac sign? Cat astrology is a fun way to learn more about your cat’s special purrsonality and unique characteristics.
Now, we don’t know the birthdates of most of our cats, only their adoption dates. But Lucky’s birthday was estimated to be sometime around Halloween, which makes him a Scorpio.
(Hmm…I can’t say that I agree with the Scorpio description below when it comes to Lucky; he is as happy-go-lucky as his name suggests!)
Have a look at your cat’s sign to see if you agree with the astrological characteristics!

Your Cat’s Ruling Sign
If you are like most people, when you think of astrology you picture the natal sign–but that’s just one part of your cat’s astrological influences.
One of the most important astrological influences is, of course, the Sun. It is the center of all life and represents your cat’s personality and spirit. It is the planetary ruler of the sign Leo.
The Moon, on the other hand, gives your cat his or her Soul. The Moon is the ruling planet of the Zodiac sign Cancer. Associated with the mother and with maternal instincts, in Chinese astrology, the Moon represents Yin, while the Sun represents Yang.
Mercury rules over Gemini and Virgo, the planet of the mind and of communication (or the means to communicate the idea).
The planet Venus rules over Taurus and Libra. As most of us know, Venus is associated with love as well as harmony and beauty.
Mars is the ruling planet for Aries, and to some astrologers, Scorpio, although modern astrologers now determine that Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio. Mars influences the things your cat wants, and how you go about getting those things.
Jupiter is associated with pleasure and enjoyment. The planter of Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius and is also associated with principles of growth, religion and higher education.
Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn and is associated with principles such as reality and restrictions, boundaries and rules. Saturn was traditionally the ruler of Aquarius until the discovery of the planet Uranus.
Neptune is the ruling planet of Pisces and is associated with deception, illusions, spirituality and psychic phenomena. The planet Pluto is the ruling planet of Scorpio and is associated with the concept of transformation.
